Legion Urges Tough Wisconsin Laws Against Communists
The American Legion Wisconsin department urged two tough anti communism measures. One would create an un American activities committee to probe subversive activity and the other would require all Communists or revolutionaries to register with fines up to 10000 dollars and prison terms up to 10 years for noncompliance. The plan would define communism and allied movements and force registration of persons and groups, reveal true identities in literature, ban Communists from public office in the state school system, bar licensed professions, and allow action by the attorney general on complaints. A second provision would bar noncompliant individuals from licenses or permits. The executive committee pushed bills quickly, but the committee deadlocked over extending affidavits to non communists for licensed professionals.
